The Same Drugs

In January, a Canadian court ruled in favour of citizens who participated in the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, determining that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional and without legal justification.

The Emergencies Act was invoked on February 14, 2022 by the Federal Cabinet in an effort to shut down the peaceful protests happening in opposition to Covid-related mandates and restrictions. As a result of this decision, hundreds of Canadians had their bank accounts frozen (among other egregious acts), including Vincent Gircys, a retired member of the Ontario Provincial Police.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Vincent about his experience at the Convoy in Ottawa, the police and government response, and Justice Mosley’s decision in response to the constitutional challenge brought forward by four plaintiffs, represented by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).

How did America, of all places, become the most dangerous place for a woman to give birth? Why have c-sections been on the rise in recent decades? Why do so many women have traumatic birth experiences in the hospital? How can those experiences be improved, in order for the mother to feel empowered? And why is the birthing community adopting “gender neutral” language like “chest feeding” and “birthing person” to describe something inarguably sexed?

Cynthia Overgard is a hypnobirthing instructor and host and producer of the Down To Birth podcast. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about all these issues and more.

Mike Hulme is a Professor of Human Geography and head of the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on representations of climate change in history, culture, and media, and the ways in which climate change is deployed in public and political discourse. Mike's 2009 book, Why We Disagree About Climate Change, was chosen as one of The Economist's books of the year, and looks at how the idea of climate change has taken such a dominant position in modern politics. His most-recent book, Climate Change Isn’t Everything: Liberating Climate Politics from Alarmism, addresses what he calls "climatism" — climate reductionism as ideology.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mike about wildfires, "global warming," climate change activism, policy, hysteria, and more.
